Today is an especially joyful occasion on The CEP Blog.****I*am pleased to*announce that*one of the world’s top experts on CEP, Dr. Rainer von Ammon, has joined the blog.
Dr. Rainer von Ammon is managing director of the Centrum für Informations-Technology Transfer (CITT) in Regensburg. Until October 2005 he was Professor for Software Engineering, specializing in E-Business infrastructures and distributed systems, at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. Rainer is still teaching there and at the University of Applied Sciences of Regensburg. From 1998 to 2002, he worked as Principal Consultant and Manager for R+D Cooperations at BEA Systems (Central and Eastern Europe). Prior to this, he was Professor for Software Engineering in Dresden with a focus on development of applications with event driven object oriented user interfaces and component based application development. Before this Rainer was acting as manager of the field Basic Systems at the Mummert + Partner Unternehmensberatung, Hamburg. After finishing his studies of Information Sciences at the University of Regensburg, he started as project leader of Computer Based Office Systems (COBIS) from 1978 to 1983 and afterward founded a start up company with some of his colleagues.
Some of you may recall my recent musings, A Bitter Pill To Swallow: First Generation CEP Software Needs To*Evolve.** When you read Rainer’s excellent reply, you will quickly see why we are*very pleased to have his thought leadership*here at*The CEP Blog.**Dr.*von Ammon*and his team are leading experts*in CEP and*related*business integration domains.* Not only does he provide thought leadership, his team* researches, develops, implements*and tests CEP solutions.***
In another example of* his thought leadership, some of you might recall this post, Brandl and Guschakowski Deliver Excellent CEP/BAM*Report, where Hans-Martin Brandl and David Guschakowski of the University of Applied Sciences Regensburg, Faculty of Information Technology/Mathematics (CITT), advised by*Dr. von Ammon,*completed an excellent CEP thesis, Complex Event Processing in the context of Business Activity Monitoring.*
Please join me in extending a warm welcome for Dr. Rainer von Ammon to The CEP Blog.
